Streetlighting

Solar streetlights is a stand-alone solar system consisting of 5 main parts: solar panel, LED lamp, rechargeable battery, controller and pole. Solar lights installed in windy regions are generally equipped with a wind turbine to take advantage of the winds.

Solar panels mounted on the top of the pole convert sunlight into electricity charging a deep cycle battery, which powers a LED lamp during the night. A solar controller/regulator ensures that the battery is charged in the most effective manner and not overcharged. The controller senses when the sun goes down and turns on the light. The controller can be programmed to run the light all night, or for the required time duration. The controller also protects the battery from over discharge.
